Chapter 497: Video platform exposed, are you questioning my professionalism?
Although he made two transfers last night and was busy for most of the night, the next day, Wu Hu got up early to go out for exercise and practice Tai Chi.
The only thing that is not bad is that there are no old men and mothers around him asking him for advice to satisfy his vanity as a teacher.
After breakfast, Yahuazi and the others were still resting, so Wu Hu drove Yahuazi to the company to take the cool sports car he had sent to the company.
Unfortunately, the handsome supercar was on the road but could not explode the streets. It was a pity. As expected, a bunch of entertainment reporters were blocking there downstairs of the company. Seeing this handsome supercar appearing here, everyone was stunned for a moment and surrounded it directly.
Wu Hu did not escape, but got off the car directly, "Don't get stuck here, it will not affect other people's work, go upstairs to have tea!"
Everyone likes Wu Hu's bachelor's character and will not treat them as enemies. Although they occasionally take things out of context and deliberately create attractive titles, as long as it is not too excessive, Wu Hu can turn a blind eye and never warn him by a lawyer.
After going upstairs, Wu Hu took the person directly to the conference room.
In the conference room, Kang Zhi was having a meeting with several department heads. In fact, there were not many people in the company. After all, there were less than eighty people, and most of them were behind the scenes staff, such as makeup artists, props, lighting artists, etc.
These people are not usually used by the company. Most of the people who come to the company are administrative personnel and screenwriters, such as accounting departments, personnel departments, etc.
Seeing Wu Hu coming with a group of reporters, everyone stood up to say hello. Then Kang Zhi coughed lightly, waved his hand, and took the person directly to his office.
When everyone sat down, the company staff gave the entertainment reporter a bottle of water.
Wu Hu asked for a bottle of Bing Kuoluo, and then said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask! It took half an hour, I haven't come to the company for too long, so I'm going to be busy for a while."
"Fat Tiger, are you still fighting in the boxing match with boxing champion Mayweather? There is no news about this recently. Does the other party dare not fight you?" Wu Hu shook his head, "I don't know if he dares, but the BA looks down on me a little and doesn't want to give me the same appearance fee as Mayweather, so the negotiations froze."
When the entertainment reporter heard this, his eyes lit up and he lowered his head and wrote. Wu Hu believed that this news would reach the Bald Eagle. If they did not put any pressure on the BA, they would really treat themselves as a scallion. You know, there is not only one BA on the Bald Eagle. "Fat Tiger, I heard that you have opened an IT company in Beijing again?"
Wu Hu laughed when he heard this, "You are quite powerful!"
In fact, this matter has been spread on the Internet for a long time, and even if you check it in Tianyan, you can find out that there are only a few companies under Wu Hu’s name, one is his own studio, one is New World Media, one is King of Games, and the other is the current Xiaohu Technology.
The three executives of Xiaohu Technology are all from the previous King of Games. This discerning person can tell at first glance that something is wrong, especially Xiaohu Technology has the word "tiger". Moreover, these three are originally Wu Hu's college classmates, and they have never heard of them breaking up.
Wu Hu didn't know if "Wolf Warrior" that came out in advance had the power of another time and space. So he planned to take some time to visit a class in a few days and add some popularity to the movie. After all, he is now a walking topic manufacturer.
Now is the hot weather in Jinling, and the staff of the "Wolf Warrior" crew are in a difficult life!
Thinking of this, Wu Hu remembered his skills in driving tanks and flying planes.
It seems that you can go over and try it out!
At this time, Wu Hu's thoughts had begun to float.
It was not until Kang Zhi mentioned "Lost in Thailand" that he came back to his senses. "Lost in Thailand" has started filming now, and New World Media has invested 40 million yuan, collaborating with Light, and Light has invested 10 million yuan.
Originally, it was said that the cost was 40 million, but later, it was calculated that the 40 million investment could not be held back. The director's salary, actor's salary, and screenwriter's fees were 8 million, which was a much higher than his market price.
This is also Wu Hu's secret proposal to Kang Zhi. In this way, if Xu Bald Head asks to sign a box office reward agreement or something, his appearance will be a bit ugly.
I have to say that Wu Hu's intentions are actually quite sinister. But in Xu Guangtou's opinion, New World Media has given him so much, which is really too bright.
Sure enough, after getting a much higher salary than the market price, Xu Baldt, who felt respected, never made any other excessive demands. From this, it can be seen that Xu Baldt never thought that the box office would be a big hit.
As for the pay of Hei Pi Huang Bo and Wang Baobao, they are also based on the market price. They did not force others to play at the friendly price just because they were friends with them.
Free things are often the most expensive, and you can see them at a glance from the later profit sharing of the drama in another time and space. Huang Bo starred in the film and finally got tens of millions of dollars.
Now, the combined pay for the three of them is almost 20 million. Therefore, the investment cost will reach 50 million.
Wu Hu naturally won't
What to say more, even if you invest in this movie to 200 million or 300 million, you will eventually make money, as long as nothing unexpected happens.
Of course, if you can really make a big box office hit like another time and space in the end, you will still have to pay some income as a red envelope to reward everyone.
Although Wu Hu is now a capitalist, he can only be considered half of it. After all, he is still a literary worker and cannot be compared with a real capitalist.
In addition to the investment in "Lost in Thailand", there are two small-cost horror films in preparation.
Although "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has not been released yet, I am not worried about recovering the cost. The cooperation with the movie channel and the video platform has been negotiated, and most of the cost has been recovered.
In terms of TV series, although Wu Hu did not write any more scripts, the company's screenwriter department was not idle either. He created an original family ethics drama and adapted some copyrights that Wu Hu asked Kang Zhi to buy. The adaptation is now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Wu Hu had no impression of that family ethics drama. After all, although he had watched many TV series in another time and space, he did not watch many family ethics dramas.
Kang Zhi intends to let Tie Tie star, after all, Tie Tie's image feels like a neighbor.
Wu Hu couldn't tell me about this, especially after reading the script casually and found that the nature of this script is a bit like "The Real Man", which is the feeling of an old man and a young wife.
The essence of the ghost is the love between an uncle and a girl, so this script gives Wu Hu a bit like a reference to the feeling of a partner between a young and a young man.
Therefore, he felt that Tietie had no need to return such a show, so as not to be said to be frivolous and her image was fixed.
What's more, the heroine in the play is almost thirty years old, how old is Tietie? She is usually very girlish, and she has no problem saying that she is a high school student.
Yu denied Kang Zhi's proposal and recommended Sister Strawberry to go there.
As for "The Legend of the Gu Jian", this is actually a game, a work of Haicheng as a game company. It was only when Wu Hu traveled through time. Later, when Wu Hu asked Kang Zhi to acquire the film and television adaptation rights, Wu Hu named it and took the adaptation rights.
However, the other party's game company retains some rights, that is, if you want to adapt this game, you can, but they have the right to participate in part of the investment. Now that the game is popular, they will naturally not hand over all rights to New World Media.
When Wu Hu heard this drama, he thought of Damimi. Because in another time and space, this drama was starring Damimi. As for the male lead, Wu Hu also thought of the person who was arrested in "Shiqi". This person actually debuted in the talent show as early as 2007. He was originally a musician, but compared to Wu Hu, the speed of becoming popular was a bit worse. Wu Hu could make people envious, jealous and hatred. After becoming popular, he never felt weak, and he still went up step by step, running all the way to the world.
This kind of popularity speed is simply unreasonable.
But now, following Kang Zhi’s intention, I have the idea of asking Yahuazi to take the lead.
When Wu Hu heard this proposal, he shook his head silently in his heart. Yahua's mother probably looked down on her. Wu Hu also felt that there was no need to let Yahuazi continue to act in this drama. It was not that she didn't like this drama, but she had to give others some opportunities!
For example, Tietie and Mina, Mina is self-reliant and is becoming more and more Buddhist now. It is not good for people to become lazy. You have to give her some chance and let her go out for business.
Finally, Kang Zhi re-introduced the old story and suggested to Wu Hu that the company had established an artist agency department and signed some artists, otherwise they would invite external actors to all the scenes, which would make wedding dresses for others.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, the company can also regain some benefits from the artists. All entertainment companies do this. Now New World Media has a lot of resources, so there is no need to keep cheap artists from other entertainment companies, right?
As long as New World Media is willing to sign contracts with artists, there will definitely be many artists willing to join them. Because they sign contracts with New World Media, there is a very likely opportunity to go international.
Yahuazi followed Wu Hu to the international market, which is the best proof. Of course, Yahuazi's original agency contract was also from the Bald Eagle, and she had also filmed an "international blockbuster" like "Kung Fu King". But because this film did not cause any waves abroad,
This time, when filming "The Shocking Demons' Team" with Wu Hu, he was regarded as Wu Hu's tooth-holding flower and rushed to the international world.
Not to mention these days, even ten years later, if you go international, your attractiveness to artists will remain unabated. After all, as long as you gain some international titles, your value will be different.
But Wu Hu still doesn't know how to deal with this. Although Kang Zhi's proposal is not wrong, if you sign some actors, you have to be responsible for these actors. In this way, you need to go to the show and form a competitive relationship with other entertainment companies.
This is contrary to his purpose of being kind to others and making friends more.
What's more, after signing some actors and making the other party famous, the other party will inevitably ask for more, and people's hearts will not be easily satisfied. Instead of breaking up at that time, it's better not to start now.
But if Kang Zhi doesn't give him a reason to be satisfied, he will definitely feel stupid.
So Wu Hu said, "With the advent of the traffic era, major capitals from outside have gradually entered the entertainment industry, and the pay of actors has soared. Many artists have started to set up personal studios. Moreover, the company currently has four female artists (Ya Huazi and Tieti, and Mina are one of the shareholders, and Sister Strawberry is an artist in his studio, and is also one of the artists in the company). If you sign again, you can only sign a man. Do you think it is necessary?"
Kang Zhi was still digesting Wu Hu's words, and then heard Wu Hu say, "You said that some artists are willing to come over to our side because they want to go international with me. Do you think these actors will seize the resources of Xixi and Tieti after they come over? If they are male artists, will they seize my resources?"
After pausing, Wu Hu continued, "And, if the signing conditions we give are too harsh, we will inevitably encounter poachers. If the signing conditions are very average, we will make a profit, but we won't make a lot of money. If the character of the artist is not careful, everything I have invested before will be wasted." Wu Huyue said, becoming more confident, "Why have I never been an artist's business? In addition to these reasons, there is another more important point, that is, when we film, we will not be restricted by our own artists in casting. We can freely choose actors who are more in line with the role and say no to other companies. Once we have artist agents ourselves, we will have to exchange some resources with other companies. At that time, people will add some unsuitable artists to come in, do you agree or not?"
Kang Zhi was still thinking about his words, and Wu Hu had already lit the ethical drama script, "We can cooperate with other companies for such scripts. Tietie's character is not very suitable for the heroine. You can try it for Sister Strawberry. The other actors are handed over to other companies. The director can find Xingxing's director Xia Xiaoyun or Li Xue and others to try it." Kang Zhi felt a little confused for a moment. Wu Hu's words seemed very reasonable at first glance, but he always felt something was wrong.
Why can’t they do what other companies are doing? Even if there are risks, that is something to consider in the future!
Artists set up houses, just public relations! Look at Teacher Zhang’s son, even if such a thing happens, will he appear in public now?
Indeed, in May, the movie "Inseparable" co-starring Mr. Zhang and Yan Zu and others was released, and it seems that they have not been affected too much.
